How to Validate this?

[Dev Brazil]

Hi.

I have one form that it repeats some times some fields. However the same ones have the same property, as make for validate them?

See the example:

<logic:iterate name="OB_ITERATE" id="item" scope="session" indexId="status">
 
<html:text property="gest.cod" styleClass="cmptext" size="7" maxlength="5" />
<html:text property="gest.name" styleClass="cmptext" size="7" maxlength="5" />
<html:text property="gest.tel" styleClass="cmptext" size="7" maxlength="5" />
 
</logic:iterate>

Thanks.

Struts does allow for indexed properties. So, you could do something like:

<html:text property="propertyName[${status}]" />

Or something very close to ... I'd check out the Struts documentation pages on indexed, mapped, and nested properties.

I guess you wanted to know how to validation a form field if there is more than one form field with same name.

Solition would to define a array of the form field in your Action form, get each value and validate.

For example,

If there is a form field with name "f1" repeating in your form, then in the ActionForm have a getter and setter methods for f1[]. When your form is submitted, the values will be set to this array.

from your validate method, validate the values of form field by looping through the array f1[].

Hope this helps
Thanks
